3 Bank of Shanghai (Hong Kong) Limited (the Company ) is pleased to present the interim financial disclosure statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group ) for the first half of 2017 ended 30 June The condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months period ended 30 June 2017, and the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017 of the Group, (all of which are unaudited) along with the explanatory notes are illustrated on pages 2 to 24 of this interim financial disclosure statements. Financial Review The Group s pre-tax profit for the period was HK$68 million, which increased by 6% as compared with the same period of the previous year. It should be noted that the Group s operating results included a foreign exchange translation gain of HK$33 million (2016: loss of HK$17 million) on the capital denominated in Renminbi ( RMB ) due to appreciation of RMB against HK Dollar during the period and an individually assessed impairment charge for a sub-standard loan. Before accounting for these two items, the Group s operating profit before taxation was HK$182 million, an increase of HK$87 million or 93% as compared with the same period of the previous year. Total loans and advances to customers were up by 3% to HK$13,152 million from 2016 year end, while customer deposits rose by 21% to HK$12,327 million as the Group continued to expand its customer and deposit base. During the period, a syndicated loan in which we participated was in default and the amount was subsequently being provided based on the latest update of the debt restructuring plan. Other than this non-performing loan, the overall assets quality remained satisfactory. The Group s financial position continued sound. Total capital adequacy ratio was maintained at a comfortable level at 25.4%, and the average liquidity maintenance ratio ( LMR ) at 55.5%. Both ratios adequately met the statutory requirements. 1

8 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (1) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The interim financial disclosure statements cover the consolidated positions of the Company and its subsidiaries. For regulatory reporting purposes, the Company is required to compute its capital adequacy ratios and leverage ratio on an unconsolidated basis that is different from the basis of consolidation for accounting purposes. The basis is illustrated in the Note 3(a) of the Regulatory Disclosure Statements. (2) BASIS OF PREPARATION These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Accounting Standard ( HKAS ) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ( HKICPA ).

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant areas of judgment made by management in applying the Group s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

The Group measures fair value using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements: Level 1: fair value measured using quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: fair value measured using valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly or indirectly. This category includes quoted prices in active markets for similar financial instruments, or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active, or other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data. Level 3: fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes inputs to valuation techniques not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument s valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect difference between the instruments. 22

25 (24) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT (CONTINUED) (a) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (continued) Where available, the most suitable measure for fair value is the quoted market price. In the absence of organised secondary markets for most of the unlisted securities and over-the-counter derivatives, direct market prices of these financial instruments may not be available. The fair values of such instruments are therefore calculated based on established valuation techniques using current market parameters or market prices provided by counterparties. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the reporting date. For other derivative financial instruments, the Group uses estimated discounted cash flows to determine their fair value and the discount rate used is a discount rate at the end of the reporting period applicable for an instrument with similar terms and conditions. The table below analyses financial instruments, measured at fair value as at 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016, by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value treatment is categorised. At 30 June 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Recurring fair value measurements Assets Derivative financial assets Investment securities 99,943 1,367,262 1,467,205 Liabilities Derivative financial liabilities 24,276 24,276 At 31 December 2016 Recurring fair value measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Derivative financial assets 2,863 2,863 Investment securities 99,408 1,116,221 1,215,629 Liabilities Derivative financial liabilities 52,887 52,887 23

26 (24) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT (CONTINUED) (a) Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value (continued) During the six months ended 30 June 2017 and the year of 2016, there were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2. The Group s policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur. Financial assets and liabilities that were presented not at their fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position mainly represented cash and balances with banks and central bank, placements with and advances to banks, loans and advances to customers and held-to-maturity investment securities. These financial assets were measured at amortised cost less impairment. Financial liabilities not presented at their fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position mainly included deposits from banks, deposits from customers and certificates of deposit issued. These financial liabilities were measured at amortised cost. The Group assessed that the differences between the fair values and the carrying amounts of those financial assets and liabilities not presented in the Group s consolidated statement of financial position at their fair values were insignificant as most of the Group s financial assets and liabilities were either short-term or priced at floating rates. (25) MATERIAL RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS There were no changes in the related party transactions described in the Group s Directors Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 that have had a material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first half of
